Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    Our Venice to Split adventure in October 2023 was not horrible. While touted as a premium tour, some aspects of the trip were anything but premium. The good: Our tour guide, Dinko, was excellent. As a local who knew the territory, he gave us an insider-look at the region, including superb dining spots a visitor could never find alone. Dinko earns an A+. The small tour size (12 people) also was good. We had a friendly group of Americans and Australians who really bonded. The bad: The accommodations on this supposed premium trip were generally sub-par. Virtually every hotel had problems for at least a couple people in our group -- e.g., AC that didn't work; dirty linens; no linens; limited hotel amenities; constant excuse-making by the hotels. Even when the hotels were superficially attractive, our group seemed to be assigned the smallest/worst rooms. Single travelers drew the absolute bottom of the barrel. The trip also felt a bit hurried, with too many one-night stops. I would have liked more time in Slovenia. The Venice "day," which only consists of a dinner, was a complete waste. To even get there on time, we had no choice but to fly in a day early. But, as we learned in the small print, the tour promise of free transportation from the airport doesn't apply if you forced to arrive early. So, in summary, I would use an airline analogy to describe this trip -- upscale Business-class during the day; crowded, sometimes uncomfortable Coach-class at night. PS -- If you booked your trip through AAA Club Adventures, please know that AAA is not the tour sponsor; it is just an American re-seller of tour packages organized by an Australian company called Intrepid. AAA merely slaps its name on the brochures.
